GOP leaks HRC emails out of frustration in pointless Benghazi probe
National Memo
Straining To Attack Clinton, ‘New York Times’ And Trey Gowdy Deliver Libya Squib
Once more, The New York Times serves as a bulletin board for partisan attacks on Hillary Rodham Clinton – today by publishing a muddled, pointless “investigation” of journalist Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton advisor and friend who served in the White House during President Clinton’s second term. It can serve only to justify the ongoing but fruitless existence of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, whose leaking staff served as the story’s primary source.
Reporters Nicholas Confessore and Michael S. Schmidt strain very hard to suggest impropriety in a series of memos about Libya that Blumenthal shared with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. Rather than producing anything solid, however, what they deliver is flatulent. Their story’s forced, conspiratorial tone and gassy substance are inexplicable, unless they hope readers will assume that Blumenthal was trying to advance a private interest — without a shred of evidence to prove it.
Was it wrong, as the Times story insinuates, for Blumenthal to share information he had received on Libya from his friends or “business associates” with Secretary Clinton? If so, every Cabinet member in every administration, dating back to the beginning of the Republic, surely belongs in the dock.
Yet in order to hint at wrongdoing, the convoluted Times story fails to explain a very basic fact to readers: Nothing in the memos that Blumenthal provided to Clinton discussed any Libyan business or humanitarian project– and by the way, Blumenthal (who I should disclose is a longtime personal friend and colleague of mine) never made a dime related to Libya in any way. He received no payment from his friends, Tyler Drumheller and Cody Shearer, or from any of the other figures mentioned in the Times story, who hoped to provide hospital beds and other needed services in the wake of Muammar Qaddafi’s ouster.

I have noticed that every effing thing that GOPers say especially negative stuff against others do reflect what they are basically doing behind the scene themselves.
